Feeder have announced they will undertake a 20 date tour in the New Year, the first proper tour since the death of drummer Jon Lee earlier this year, and the first major gigging for new drummer Mark Richardson. Although Mark appeared with the band at Reading and Leeds, and drums on the album, he doesn’t consider himself a band member proper yet. He told Radio 1: "I think this period is quite a sensitive period, obviously. And I think it’s better if it's mainly these guys and to take things very slowly." Frontman Grant agrees: "Basically, it isn't just up to us... Mark needs to be happy. It takes time to build a chemistry I think, and Jon was with us for such a long time that it didn't feel right to say 'hey, we've got a new drummer!' after just a few weeks of work. But we're not looking for anybody else."
